Wafilipi 1
1 Pauli ni Timoti, bhatumishi bha Kristu Yesu, kwa bhala bhatengibhu mwa kristu bhabhitema Filipi, pamonga ni bhabhiyangilila ni mashemasi.
Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
2 Neema na j'hiyelayi kwa muenga ni amani j'hayih'omela kwa K'yara dadiyetu ni Bwana bhitu Yesu kristu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Nikammbombesya K'yara bhengu kila pa nikabhak'homb'hoka muenga mwebhoha.
I thank my God whenever I remember you,
4 Mara syoha kila liombi lyangu kwa ndabha j'ha mwenga mwebhoha, huwa nikobhoka panikabhas'omela.
always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
5 Niyele ni shukrani limehele kwandabha j'ha ushirika bhw'henu muinjili kuh'omela ligono lya lya kubhwandelu mpaka lelu.
for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
6 Niyele nibhuhakika kuj'ha muene j'haoyandisi lihengu linofu mugati mwa muenga ibeyendelela kuj'hikamilisya mpaka ligono lya Bwana YesuKristu.
being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
7 Ni sawa kwa nene kujip'heleka naha nalabha j'hamuenga mwabhoha kwa nakbha mmbabhakhili mun'teema bhwangu. Kwandabha muenga muyele bhashirika bhayinu mwa neema mukifungu kyangu ni mu utetezi ni bhuthibitishaji bhwangu bhwa injili.
It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
8 K'yara ndo shahidi ghwa nene, ndabha kyaniyele ni shauku ndabha j'ha muenga mwebhoha mu ugati ghwa pendo lya Yesu kristu.
For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
9 Na nis'oma kuj'ha: lugano lwinu bhuyongesekai zaidi ni zaidi mu maarifa ni luhala lwoha.
This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
10 Nis'oma kwandabha j'ha e'le muyelai kinofu ni bhuwezo bhwa kup'hema ni kuchagula mambo ghaghayele kinofu sana. Pia nikihabhas'omela ili muyelai kinofu bila kuj'ha nihatia j'hoj'hioha y'hela muligono lya Kristu.
so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
11 Na pia ili mmemesibhwaya ni litunda lya haki lyalipatikana mwa Yesu Kristu, kwa bhutukufu ni sifa j'ha K'yara.
being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Henu bhalongobhangu, nilonda mmanyayi kuj'ha mambo ghaghah'omili kwa nene ghaghaifwanjili injili iyendelelayi sana.
Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,
13 Ndo maana fifungu fyangu mu Kristu, fimanyik'hene kwa bhalinzi bha ikulu iyoha ni kwa k'hila munu pia.
so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
14 Ni bhalongo bhingi mu Bhwana kwandabha j'ha fifungu fyanene bhashawishiki nikuthubutu kulihubiri lilobhi bila khutila.
and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15 Bhamana kuweli hata bhikhanta ngasya Kristu kwa fitina ningondo, na pia bhamana kwa nia yinofu.
Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16 Bhala bhabhakantangasya Kristu kwa lugano bhamanyili kuj'ha nibhekhibhu apanai kwa ndabha j'ha kuitetela injili.
The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17 Bali bhangi bhikantangasya Kristu, kwa bhubinafsi ni kwa nia yibaya. Bhidhanila kuj'ha bhisababisya matatizo kwa nene muminyororo ghyangu.
but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
18 Henu? nijali lepi aidha nj'hela iyelai ni kwa hilarious au kwa bhukweli, Kristu itangasibhwa ni mu e'le nihobhok'hela! Ndo, nibekuhobhokila.
What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
19 kwa kuj'ha nimanyili e'le libekutokula kubhopolibhwa kwa nene. like Jambo e'le libekutokula kwandabha j'ha maombi ghinu ni kwa msaada bhwa Roho j'ha yes Kristu.
For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 kul'hengana ni matajio ghangu ghabhuhakika ni ibhukweli ni kwamba, nibebhona lepisoni. Badala yiake, kwabhujasiri bhuoha, Kama ambavyo magono ghoha ni henu, nitarajila kuj'ha Kristu ibekuyinulibhwa mu mb'hele bhwangu, ikayelaye mu bhusima au mu kafwelelu.
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 kwa maana kwanene kuishi ni Kristu na kufwa ni faida.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 lakini Kama kutama mu m'mb'hele wihogola litunda mu lihengu lyangu, kwahenu nd'hesi l'el'eku lya kuchagula.
But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
23 Maana nisukumibhwa sana ni mawazo agha mab'hele. Niye ni hamu j'ha kuleka m'mb'hele ni kuj'ha pamonja ni Kristu, k'henu ambakyo ni kya thamani sanasana.
But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
24 Ingawa, kubakila mu m'mb'hele obho nik'henu kya mhimu sana kwa ndabha j'ha muenga.
Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25 kwa kuj'ha niyele ni bhuhakika kwa ndabha j'ha e'le nimanyili nibhebakila nikuj'hendelela kuj'ha pamonja namu mwe bhoha, kwa ndabha j'ha maendeleo ni furaha j'ha muenga.
Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 Na e'le libeleta furaha j'ha muenga ibhaha mwa kristu Yesu, kwa ndabha j'ha kuj'ha kwa nene yibekuyongeseka, kwa ndabha kuj'ha kwa nene kabhele pamonja namu.
that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
27 Mwilondeka kutama maisha gha muenga mu mwenendo unofu ghwaghukayilonda injili j'lia Kristu. Mkhetayi mebhu ili nikahialayi kubhalanga au nikabelayi kuhiola, nip'helekai kuj'ha my'emili kinofu mu Roho yimonga. Natamani kup'eleka kuj'ha myele ni Roho yimonga, mkayikhomanela imani j'ha injili kwa pamonga.
Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
28 msitisibhu ni k'henu kyokyok'hula kyakifwanyibhwa ni maadui bha muenga. Ey'e kwa bhene n'do ishara j'ha uharibifu. Bali kwa muenga n'do ishara j'ha bhwokovu kuh'oma kwa K'yara. kwa maana muenga mpelibhu kwa
and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
29 ndabha j'ha Kristu, sio kumwamini tu, bali ni kutesibhwa pia kwa muene.
Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
30 kwa maana muye ni ngondo y'elay'ela Kama kyamkayibhwene kwa nenga na mwip'eleka kuj'ha niyenabhu hata h'enu.
having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
